Luo Guangming limped into the house, smiled and said he wanted to borrow soy sauce.

Lin Chen hurriedly went to the cupboard to look for him, and then heard him ask smoothly:

"Didn't you pick up Xiaoqiao?"

Lin Chen paused for a moment while holding the soy sauce bottle in his hand, then turned around and handed it to him with a smile: "Xiaoqiao is going to participate in a competition and will be staying in the hotel from now on. Are you looking for her?"

Luo Guangming waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no."

After saying that, he took his things and ran away as if running away.

Lin Chen saw that the roots of his ears were obviously red, and he shouted behind him: "Come to my house for dinner on the weekend!"

His wife's vision was really accurate. Even he could tell this time that Luo Guangming was interested in his sister.

He touched the back of his head and felt that something was different from before. He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Guangming no longer stutters."

He told Jiang Ning this discovery, and Jiang Ning pretended to be surprised, "Really? Maybe you won't stutter when talking about Xiaoqiao."

The two of them started cooking while chatting, while Wang Xiufen continued to study the clothes she wanted to make.

While eating, Jiang Ning said:

"Mom, Liu Fang's clothes are almost ready, right? It seems that three days are enough to make a Tang suit. Do you want to expand your business volume?"

Wang Xiufen said in confusion: "These two orders are just a coincidence. Can we have such a big business in the future?"

In her opinion, this kind of big job is rare. How many people can't even afford to eat, so how can they be willing to spend more than ten yuan to make clothes?

Jiang Ning analyzed with her: "Although there are many poor people now, there are also some people whose families have a lot of labor. It is not difficult to spend more than ten yuan to make clothes, and it is not done often. The smell of wine is afraid of the deep alley, you are good at craftsmanship, only People in the village know that with a small base, there will be few potential customers. If we advertise this matter widely, many people will know about it. Even if we only capture one ten thousandth of the customers, we will not be able to complete the orders. "

Wang Xiufen was even more confused when she heard what a base and potential customers were. She just liked making clothes. She was happy to make clothes and make money. If there were no orders, she would make them for her family.

Lin Chen helped explain: "Mom, what Ning Ning means is that since we have decided to open a tailor shop, we should treat it as a business and strive to achieve some results."

"Oh, I understand, just make the tailor shop bigger." Wang Xiufen's eyes lit up, as if she understood, and then dimmed again, "It's still the same problem, where can we get so much work?"

Jiang Ning finished eating, put down her chopsticks, and said seriously: "I have thought about it. On the one hand, I will widely publicize your clothes making. On the other hand, we should also open up our minds and add more styles of clothes, such as skirts, The materials for jackets should also be diversified. It is really popular in the city now, so we should also make shirts made of this material..."

After hearing this, Wang Xiufen nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "If you have an idea, just do as you say. However, there is one thing, I am only responsible for making clothes."

The two chatted for a long time after the meal and divided the tasks that each person had to do.

Jiang Ning is responsible for auxiliary tasks such as publicity, taking orders, measuring, and buying fabrics, while Wang Xiufen is responsible for pattern making, tailoring, and sewing machines.

That night, Jiang Ning began to pick up paper and pen, write and draw under the kerosene lamp, and made many advertising business cards with her home address and the clothing styles she could make.

The next day, she took Aunt Luo and started visiting her everywhere.

Wherever there are crowds of people, she will run over and strike up a conversation with a smile.

The daughters-in-law have been married for many years, and the sons of these aunts have already married and even have grandchildren. Naturally, they no longer have to work in the fields. They just sew clothes and collect shoe soles and gather together to chat.

"Auntie, do you remember me? The Lin Chen family's daughter-in-law who got married a while ago...yes, that's me. The clothes I wore at that time looked good, right?"

"It looks good, isn't it expensive?" Everyone became interested.

As long as money is mentioned, everyone likes to ask about it.

Jiang Ning said hurriedly: "It's not expensive. Think about it. Marriage is a major event in life. It only happens once in a lifetime. Even if you live frugally, you still want to be famous! Not to mention that my mother-in-law worked so hard to make clothes for me." After a week of work, if you go to the county town to do it, the master can only earn fifty cents a day, which is three or four yuan in labor fees.

Now my mother-in-law only costs RMB 1.5 to make one piece. On average, it only costs 20 cents a day. Can you say that 20 cents is expensive? "

Naturally, Aunt Luo also helped to promote: "If any of your relatives wants to marry a wife or daughter, you can ask Aunt Wang to do it. She will never charge more. Not only can you make wedding clothes, but you can also make daily clothes. Then The crafting fee is even cheaper, the shirt is only 50 cents and the jacket is only one piece."

Everyone laughed and agreed: "No problem, just open your mouth."

Jiang Ning took advantage of the victory and sent them advertising business cards: "If any of you want to introduce a new order, I will give you two cents free of charge for making your own clothes."

"Really?" Everyone was immediately happy. If we could make a shirt, it would only cost 30 cents for craftsmanship.

After returning, they spread the news.

In the afternoon, dark figures were working in the fields.

The rumble of threshing machines and the chatter and laughter among commune members echoed in the fields.

Yu Xiaofeng was stepping on the threshing machine, and Yu Meili held the straw handle and handed it to her.

"Your sister-in-law may be impatient now. She is promoting the opening of a tailor shop outside, babbling, for fear that others will forget how beautiful she was when she got married."

Yu Xiaofeng took the handle and threshed the grain while stepping on it.

"The embarrassing thing is that we brought some roast duck and moon cakes to the banquet. It's amazing how many stinky people there are! Didn't you see when you went back to your parents' house that a woman actually competed with men in drinking? This old Lin family's face is even more embarrassing She was completely disgraced!"

The two of them kept mumbling, and the person next to them urged:

"Yu Meili, what are you doing? You're lazy again. Hurry up and run! I'll deduct two points from your work points today."

Others had to run when holding the grain handle, but she didn't move for a long time.

Yu Meili was so angry that she couldn't even chat all day long. Others were also chatting. Why didn't she say anything? The scorer was deliberately targeting him.

After Yu Xiaofeng got off work, she had an extra thought and ran to Gao Qiang's house to ask Li Ying about the situation.

"Isn't it just speculation to open a tailor shop? Jiang Ning is blatantly soliciting customers."

Li Ying hurriedly told her to shut up:

"Don't talk nonsense. This was agreed upon by the brigade at a meeting. Although the higher-ups haven't announced it yet, it's basically a done deal."

Yu Xiaofeng listened thoughtfully, if the neighbor can do it, why can't she do it?

Her mother's family happens to have a sewing machine, and she can use it. If one piece of clothing can earn 1.5 cents, wouldn't 100 pieces of clothing earn 150 yuan?

With this thought in mind, she walked towards her parents' house without hesitation...
